Submission on Migration Amendment (Detention Reform and Procedural Fairness) Bill 2010

Description

The MYAN Submission on the Migration Amendment (Detention Reform and Procedural Fairness) Bill 2010 is a joint effort with the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition (AYAC), advocating for the humane treatment of asylum seekers, particularly young people. The submission endorses the proposed reforms, including the removal of the excision-zone language, the substitution of mandatory detention with discretionary detention, and the implementation of review processes that account for the mental and physical health impacts of detention. The document emphasises the need for policy changes that align with Australia’s international human rights obligations and support the well-being of young asylum seekers.
